The US president has warned Kiev against \u201cbacking out\u201d of the rare earth deal with Washington<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong> US President Donald Trump has warned Vladimir Zelensky to think twice before rejecting the latest version of Washington\u2019s proposed minerals deal \u2013\u00a0already far harsher than an earlier draft derailed by the Ukrainian leader\u2019s outburst at the White House.<\/p>\n

Trump has repeatedly demanded that Kiev reimburse what he claims are hundreds of billions of dollars in US aid through Ukraine\u2019s mineral wealth, originally focusing on \u201crare earths.\u201d<\/em> A previous version of the deal was supposed to be signed in early March but was abruptly withdrawn after Zelensky clashed publicly with Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance during an Oval Office meeting.<\/p>\n

After Trump temporarily froze all military aid and intelligence sharing with Kiev, Zelensky has signaled willingness to return to negotiations, while still insisting that Kiev does not \u201cowe\u201d<\/em> Washington anything.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Zelensky confirmed that Ukraine had received a new draft proposal, but claimed\u00a0\u201cthere are a lot of things that had not been discussed before. And there are also some things that the parties had previously rejected<\/em>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In response, Trump accused Zelensky of trying to renege on the proposed agreement in his remarks to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, as reported by Reuters.<\/p>\n

Zelensky, by the way… I see he is trying to back out of the rare earth deal, and if he does that, he\u2019s got some problems \u2013 big, big problems.<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWe made a deal on rare earths. And now he is saying: \u2018Well, you know, I wanna renegotiate\u2019… If he is looking to negotiate the deal, he\u2019s got big problems,\u201d<\/em> the US president added.<\/p>\n

Trump also reiterated that Ukraine should abandon its aspirations to join NATO.\u00a0\u201cHe wants to be a member of NATO, but he\u2019s never going to be a member of NATO,\u201d<\/em> Trump said, adding that even Zelensky \u201cunderstands that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

According to Reuters, the latest version of the minerals deal is significantly harsher than earlier iterations. Under the proposed terms, the US would recoup all aid provided to Ukraine since the 2022 escalation of its conflict with Russia, and would impose a 4% annual interest rate on the total before Kiev could access any of the profits from the joint extraction fund.<\/p>\n

The US has allocated more than $123 billion in military and financial assistance to Ukraine since 2022, according to data from Germany\u2019s Kiel Institute. Trump, however, claims the true cost to Washington has exceeded $300 billion.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
